Hey, I have finished 2 final papers today. Hard ones. Unfortunately I have run out of ideas for the 3rd one. It's about defiant children, and a very specific type of treatment for them. I'm supposed to write about this topic for at least 10 pages, but I'm only finding enough material to fill up 5 pages.
I'm gonna e-mail the (less-freaky) professor about this conundrum. Perhaps he will be merciful. It is in his best interests to read fewer pages, rather than many, IMO.
Meanwhile the Freaky Professor e-mailed me a response to the latest e-mail in which I say that I do not enjoy writing my own letters of reccomendation, merely to have the recommender change things a bit and sign off on it. It was written in approximately 90 seconds and outlines a specific cognitive therapy technique for overcoming my lack of self-esteem when writing about myself. He cites research and everything.
Does he do this for FUN? I decided not to respond to him anymore, because SOMEONE's got to have self-control. I have papers to procrastinate for God's sake. G*d's sake.
